CARSON CITY, Nev.—The world famous Moonlite Bunny Ranch legal brothel has announced it is launching an historic outreach of professional sexual services to the disabled community, to coincide with the 26th anniversary of the July 26, 1990 signing of the landmark Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA). Immediately all six of the Dennis Hof brothels located throughout Nevada have all undergone ADA-certified retrofitting to be able to accommodate all customers regardless of their disability. At the same time several hundred licensed working girls have been specially trained to provide the highest quality erotic experience to those so-long shunned from access to the joys of sexual pleasure.
"While the ADA is an incredible achievement in guaranteeing civil rights and protections to the disabled, the time has come to go beyond that, to ensure that the physical and sensual pleasure needs of this far-too-long neglected community are met," said bordello owner Dennis Hof, in kicking off the first-ever legal brothel outreach campaign for the disabled. "The disabled community now has an affordable, legal, and medically-approved outlet for sexual satisfaction, and one that I am proud to say is the first of its kind anywhere in the world."
About 1 in 5 people in the U.S. currently has a disability—an estimated 48.9 million people, or 19.4 percent of non-institutionalized civilians—with over a billion people, around 15 percent of the world's population, having some form of disability with an estimated 24.1 million people having a severe disability. Meanwhile the rates of disability are increasing due to population aging and increases in chronic health conditions. Persons with disabilities, on average as a group, are more likely to experience adverse socioeconomic outcomes than persons without disabilities, such as less education, worse health outcomes, less employment, and higher poverty rates.
In addition to full wheelchair access and expertly-trained courtesans, the Dennis Hof brothels have also taken pains to see that every aspect of a disabled customer's visit to his bawdy-houses is dealt with sensitively, comfortably, and with dignity as top priorities.
"For example, now when a disabled person flies into the local airport in Reno to visit one of our brothels, he or she is not picked up in some conspicuous utility van, but we have a specially-imported British taxi we brought over from London, with a built-in ramp and massive back seating area to make our guests feel like the true VIPs they are," said Hof, "Not to mention the two beautiful girls that will accompany them on their ride!"
A number of European countries have already made strides to include legal, appropriate and supportive sexual services through prostitutes to the disabled, recognizing sex as a human need just as much as food, water and shelter. The UK-based TLC Trust was the first to connect people in England with disabilities to sex workers. According to its founder, sex therapist and campaigner for disabled people's sexual and relationship rights Dr. Tuppy Owens, the importance of such an option for the disabled can't be understated. "Sex workers give disabled people a change to live out their dreams," Dr. Owens stated.
Alice Little, a licensed courtesan at Dennis Hof’s Sagebrush Ranch in Carson City, NV is one of the prostitutes at the forefront of providing safe, secure and individually-tailored sensual encounters for the disabled.
“The sexuality of people with disabilities is invisible because they are often perceived as beings who do not engage in sex and do not have sexual desires. As a legal sexual provider working at a Nevada brothel, I’m here to tell you first-hand that this is far from the truth,” Little said, adding that people with disabilities have a wide range of sexual interests, which can prove challenging for a demographic so often labeled as “non-sexual.”
“In my experience, as someone who services a variety of people with disabilities on a regular basis, I’ve discovered that these clients have as diverse sexual interests as anyone else, from BDSM to specialty fetishes like sexual role play and cross-dressing,” Little said. “Clients with disabilities seek out sex workers for the same reason anyone else does: because they want to have their unique sexual desires met.”
Little points out that that while she treats all of her clients equally, there are often considerations that must be taken into account when sexually servicing people with disabilities, one being that caretakers are often involved in the brothel-going process.
“Depending on the level of need, the caretaker can be in the room during the session to assist with mobility issues, health issues, or communication barriers.” Little explained. “Another challenge can be helping someone to overcome the social stigma against their sexuality. I encourage my clients to open up about prior experiences if they feel comfortable doing so, which allows me to better understand where they are coming from.”
Little said that working with people with disabilities continues to be an overwhelmingly positive experience for the sex worker.
“When I think of my time with disabled clients, I think of the attractive gentleman who returned home from Iraq, and wanted to redefine himself as a sexual being despite missing limbs. I smile and remember dear friends, and people that I’ve made such deep personal relationships with, and have connected with.”
